Good thing I had just replaced the AC condenser two months ago... ARGGG...
Good thing is I can now upgrade to the 2005 front end and not pay for it...
Picked up this bumper yesterday...
Suggestions on Headlights and core support, grill as well???

Headlights riffraff for stock oem. Buy wiring adapters. Grille eBay or ford. Header panel rock auto or the like.

Doubtful I will be buying OEM lights, just too much money... Unless I can get this insurance adjuster to call me back...
SOB priced out NON OEM parts and a used AC Condenser... hum... no. After my deductable ($500) he gave me $870 bucks...

Yea thats not a lot of float to work with... Good luck, wish you 7.3 superduty guys would keep the front end, I actually prefer the pre 05 setup myself but to each their own.

Ok then. Eagle eyes brand from eBay for the headlights. They have a warranty period incase they fog up and they look and fit good. That's what I got. One fogs but only did it twice. I plan to send them out to JD to get them painted so he will be pulling them apart and resealing them anyway. Also theres come with the wiring adapters. You will also need new bumper supports if you haven't gotten them.

I've always liked my front end, but I cant get get clear marker lights anymore so...
I'll check out Ebay... Or amazon.
Oh he is going to redo it with OEM parts... I told him I am not accepting his "offer"... Of course he wont call me back.

What's wrong with the headlights? They look find in the pics.
So here is the front end of my truck currently...
Should I go with a paintable grill and go all white, or go chrome and paint it like I did this one??? I'm not a big fan of all white... Just not sure what to do...
Another shot of all the gore...

I like that grille. This is as far as I've gotten. Haven't found a good condition new bumper yet.
been thinking about doing what normally black chrome somehow and making what's normally chrome white. Kinda reverse from normal.

Headlights are fine, Marker light is cracked... Cant get the clear marker lights anywhere anymore, they all have the amber in them...
I had the cruise set at 64, more then likely hit it at about 50-55... Just had enough time to say "CHIT" and bang the brakes.
I was expecting worse when I got out of the truck... ***er grabbed the steering wheel out of my hand HARD.
I'm sure I need an alignment as well.
Going to pick up a new AC condenser in a few hours, have to run to Barstow in a few days, and dont want to be down there with no AC!

Your lucky you're lifted and really lucky he hit right on that hook.

With a chrome rear bumper, I would do a chrome front bumper. Then paint the upper valance white and find some way to get some white on the grille. Maybe a harley grille with a white surround?
An all white front end looks awesome, but I don't think it would work on your truck Joe.

I agree... I'm going to paint the top of the bumper white, and inside of the chrome grill white like I did my old one...

I've been pondering the idea of an all chrome eBay grille and wrapping the outer ring like some of the newer trucks.
